[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's [b]Puerto Vallarta, which I do think is known to not be the safest option for travel in Mexico[/b].  I think something this extreme though is not common.  Before it's been more tourists caught in line of fire by accident or kidnappings.[/quote]

Really?  It was a pretty popular spring break destination when I was in college (east coast) in the early 2000s.  Also attended a wedding there once around 2010.  It seemed pretty full of UMC American tourists both times.

Is it really that shocking that conditions could have changed from your experience 15-25 years ago?

I grew up in Southern California in the 90s and families would regularly drive over to Tijuana for the day…I certainly wouldn’t recommend doing the same now.[/quote]

Of course not, places do change all the time, but I hadn't heard that before, that's why I was asking if it had really changed that much, I'd had no idea it was no longer a normal UMC tourist spot.  No need to get prickly. [/quote]

My impression is that Puerto Vallarta is still pretty touristy and safe, although the area between Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City has some cartel-heavy areas.  I'm really surprised that Puerto Vallarta is covered by a shelter-in-place order.   There's a nice Westin, a Dreams, a Marriot, etc.  It's not a sketchy area, so a shelter in place is a scary.
